Rare pearls of peace and plenty are.

On frozen breeze now rides t thou;

"0 favored friends, 'neath Tropic Sun, 
We'll greet and welcome every one. 
Bring siren shells that sing of waves. 

Some pearls from deep sea-fairies caves.*

Sail far above the ocean's crest. 
To Western Nations dost thou go — 
The western winds blow sad and low."

Great Rulers, shatter not in strife. 
Bid Peace to come, bid Peace remain.

To where the Rising Sun hast birth; 
Where thought and efiFort eons old.

We bid thee to the Nations' Feast; 
An arch triumphant in the West, 
Awaiteth thee, our bafiiHred guest.'

Columbia's Daughters, fairest seen, 
Attendant on the Jewel Queen, 

Their richest gifts pile at her feet, 

With her, our Nation s Guests will greet. 



Royal Court magnificent! 

Electra all her aid hath lent; 
The Jeweled Stars, the Elements Four, 

The Courtiers are on sea and shore. 



Wise Science planned, great Labor wrought. 
Fair Art, unto perfection, brought 

These Palace Halls wherein are stored 
The precious things a World outpoured. 

The King of Jesters, gay and bold. 

Doth merry, merry revel hold; 
While Music, Flora, many more. 

Keep carnival with Terpsichore.

Thou sparkling Tower of rainbow light, 
A symbol of all things pure and bright. 

While idly here we wait and dream, 
Thy story read in glisten and gleam. 

The Evil Genii of the Tower, 

Ambition, Greed, and Mis-used Power, 
Were envious of their choicest Gem, 

And stole it far away from them. 

Then mourning, all the Jewels wailed; 

And grieving, all their radiance paled. 
Gleamed Hope, the Opal, "Ransom give, 

And then perchance our Queen wilt live." 

Pearls doth gleam, "Pure Thoughts, we send;" 
Emeralds gHsten, "Love, we'll lend," 
Agates shinuner, "Health and Life;" 
Chysolites glow, "Freedom from Strife" — 

(" Tis not enough ," the Genii cry, 
"Give more, or else thy Queen shah die!") 
Emeralds glisten, "All Love we'll give. 

If thou wilt let the Gem Queen live."

ireat Love doth Evil Genii slay. 

The three are buried far away. 
In ecstasy the Jewels shone. 

With joy again their Queen enthrone. 



"Prosperity," the turquoise gleam; 

"True Loyalty," the topaz beam; 
The amethyst, all Truth wilt show; 

And "Love," the ruby's heart dost glow. 

Now singing color-songs of praise 

These gifts on brightest beams upraise 

The Rainbow Sisters, Children of Light, 
All upward gleam in beauty, might ; 



Till highest high, their beauty shone, 
Beside their Queen's resplendent throne, 

And then — ■ 

Down showered gifts to the Children of Men ! 



Now radiant gleams, the Queen they lend, 
In loving homage, low they bend; 

"Thou Queen of queens, Thou Mother Light 
great thy power, great thy Might! 

Thy glorious reign shall never cease ! 

Thou radiant, diamond, Jewel of 

PEACE!
